D:

     I'm moving Pineapple Explosion to a new site! Don't worry, it'll still be all the wacky zanyness you've come to know and love but in a cooler and easier to manage site. Well, easier for me at least. The name doesn't change so you'll still be going to Pineapple Explosion. Just go here: http://pineappleexplosion.tumblr.com/ or to pineappleexplosion dot tumblr dot com. See you there hopefully!

OPCD (Obsessive Pen Disorder)

    I think I have a problem. I believe I am, or at least well on my way to being a pen hoarder. My cups on my desk are chock full of them and I usually have at least three on my nightstand. However, a miracle has occurred on this June 4th at 1:30 AM: I cannot find one pen on my nightstand! Not.one. And for once I actually kind of need it rather than want it. So I had to get up and walk the five steps back and forth to my dresser where I thankfully had two extra pens lying around (that I spotted at a glance…) 

     Do you see that?! My IPod dock, my IPod, a water bottle, random world map, assorted notebooks, my copies of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Divergent, Lotrimin (for my possible toe fungus. I think it’s just dry skin but you can never be too sure), Post-It Notes, two Physical Therapy business cards, a desk lamp, a book light, a home made IPod cover constructed solely from Duct Tape, two pairs of ear buds, a hair tie, and my radio but not a single pen!!! Try spotting all the crap in that little picture, I dare you. Oh wait, it’s impossible! Oh well. Anyway, I should go do whatever it was I was going to do with a pen before I got started ranting on here about my pen obsession. *sigh* Adios. If you’re looking for an easy disguise, refrain from washing your hair a few days. This will not only darken your hair color but give it a whole new texture to confuse your enemies! Note: Depending on how quickly your hair becomes greasy determines how quickly you can use this disguise. Plan ahead before using this one. 

Class Trip Day!

     This is going to be a fast post because I'm tired, sweaty, and feel obligated to put something new up. Got back from our eighth grade Six Flags trip a little while ago. Somehow I had a good time though the only roller coaster I rode was the whimpy one that is supposedly the roughest (I've heard conflicting stories on this one). Oh, and did I mention our class shirts we got were black? On an eighty something degree day? Yeah, thanks to our lovely two teachers that decided one. But on the plus side I got to play Angry Birds on my friend's phone while I waited for them to get off of various roller coasters, got a cool new bracelet/bracelet buddy, might be "a shade less pale" (thank you, Julia), and got Dippin' Dots of the birthday cake persuasion so all is well in Nicole land. I need to go shower and get the smell of disgusting teenager off of me so adios for today! Don't wear black shirts when you're going to be out in the sun all day...unless you're a ninja.

Nothing of Importance

    So...I kind of got bored last night and spent at least a half an hour creating the little picture below on my laptop using paint. Let me tell you, using the little touch pad to write is NOT easy!

    

    But because I have nothing better to say I'll just give you another picture to fill space.

    Yeah, that's talent right there! Three waterbottles stacked on top of each other!! Okay, it may not be all that impressive but I thought it was picture worthy. And you get a look at the right half of my very messy desk! Anyway, adios! Try not to drive any cars off of any cliffs because it generally won't end well.



Fish on the Brain

     While fishing out on our lake today I came up with a question: do fish do to Davy Jone's locker if they die? I mean, if Davy Jone's Locker was a real place. They obviously die at sea and I didn't see any actual fish walking Davy Jone's ship in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Maybe only fish that were really, really, really bad in life go to the locker. Or maybe they go to some fish heaven. These are the questions that haunt me. Anyone have any theories? Click the little comment button to let me know what you think. Or just ignore me, that works too. :{) (That was a mustache smiley that I just learned how to do). Adios! Investing in bird cam could be very beneficial.

Babblings of a Thursday

    I know this is odd (though what isn't odd on Pineapple Explosion?) but it kind of bugs me that when I get onto my laptop to access the Internet in the search bar it automatically says "'true" for some odd reason. Yeah, I have no clue why! But right there, even as I type this blog post, that little true is sitting there staring at me from its place in the search bar.

     See! Maybe I'm getting a little OCD here but I like to have a blank search bar sometimes. Whatever. On an unrelated note though I'm going to continue this paragraph with one long run-on sentence 'cause I'm to lazy to hit enter, my summer break begins in four school days! I keep hinting that my group of friends should have a "yay, we survived middle school!" party but every time I say it everyone just goes "Yeah, we should do that". - _ - Way to make things happen. (Yes, you know who you are!) We'll see what happens.

     Before I leave you today I thought I'd point out that I now have 7 followers on Twitter and I'm listed as a Blogandblogger! :D Of course, only 7 people follow Blogandblogger (can you say ironic?!) but still! That is seven more people that are reading my tweets! And hello to everyone reading this in other countries besides America! You make my life every time I get on Blogger and see who's read my blog. And don't think I don't appreciate you too, American readers! You're pretty epic too. ;) Is it me or am I using a lot of smiley's today? At any rate, adios! Leaves, though they look very similar, are not always to be considered salad and I advise you treat them as such.

Braaaaaaains...

    Do you have a plan for when zombies begin taking over the earth? No? Then I suggest checking out this link from the CDC. They give excellent advice and a good history on zombies. http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp Yes, this is a real website courtesy of the CDC! It's promoting having a plan for natural disasters (though I don't know if I'd consider Zombie Apocalypse a natural disaster). Read it and tell me what you think! Vote on my poll on if you think a Zombie Apocalypse would ever be able to happen. Adios! Though you may appear vain, taking pictures of yourself is an excellent way to see what the people behind you in public places are doing. Set your camera/phone to video and pretend you're taking a picture of yourself to really keep tabs on them.

Stop, Pirate Time!

     I've decided that I want to be a pirate. Namely, a pirate that knows Captain Jack Sparrow. Oh, and I can't be one of those modern day pirates that kills people vacationing on their yacht by Africa. They're just pirate wannabes. Although, it may be a good idea to learn how to sword fight before I get in my time machine and return to those times...

     If you haven't guessed yet I just got home from the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Not quite as cool as the other Pirates movies since there was no Orlando Bloom but entertaining non the less. Johnny Depp is such an awesome actor! He would be quite a guy to meet. Hopefully he wouldn't act like he does during interviews. I like to talk to people that can enunciate and keep eye contact.

     On an unrelated note my finger has been itching all day for no apparent reason! There's a bump right there that may have been a scratch but why it's itching I have no clue. Now that I think about it, I have a LOT of random scratches on my left hand. Ha ha, my hand named Scar. :) (The right one's named Mufasa!) Sorry, Lion King reference.

     Wow, this is turning out to be a really weird post today. I think my blog posts tend to reflect my state of mind each day. I seem to be very absent minded right now. I'm going to go and work on the remaining parts of my science project (that is due tomorrow, eek) so I'll try to collect my thoughts a little bit. New YouTube video coming soon! Once I get around to uploading it....at any rate, adios! Keep a pair of gloves in your back pocket in case you need to touch anything without leaving finger prints.   

Posts from Social Studies

    We were watching CNN news in Social Studies today and they showed a reporter by a flood wall in Pittsburg. The guy was standing right by the impromptu wall and I couldn't help but imagine him accidentally breaking the wall while standing there. Just trip and hit one of the support beams while reporting. I had a cute little drawing to put right here but since Blogger is rejecting my server you'll just have to use your imaginations. : / Anywho, this is what you get when I'm bored in Social Studies. For the record, I have an A in there and I wrote this post when I had nothing else to do for a stretch of time. I think I may do a paper draft of these from now on, I kind of like it. We'll see. Good bye for now. P.S. You all should go see Pirates of the Caribbean this weekend! But not at the theater I'm going to so I can get tickets. That's my daily advice for you. Oh, and vote on my poll before it's too late!

Disney Miracle!

I just saw this and thought you might find it interesting. Makes you wonder if fate exists or if these people are really good at photoshoping! Either way, cool story here. Check it out! Past Encounter At Disney For Man & Wife By the way, those big hokey costumes they wear at Disney can make excellent disguises.

Hang Man

     Do you know what I don't understand? How in hang man the little person getting hanged is hung from his head. What the heck are you hanging him from?! It would be one thing if you drew your person from the hair down but no! It's just a string attached to some circle that is supposedly his head. I feel bad for all those little men being hanged in games of hangman! A- they're horribly deformed (no eyes, mouth, fingers, etc. etc.) B- They're being draw into existence often rather crudely and C- THEY'RE BEING HANGED! There's my rant for today. Come back another time for more quality teenage ramblings. Adios! Do not use lamps if ever caught in a fight. They're bulky and will tire out your arm faster, go for a candle stick first.

NYC Comic

     Today I discovered this little site on Tumblr: http://completelyirrelevanttolife.tumblr.com/. If you're a fan of the Mortal Instruments series, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, fun comics, or anything else awesome (FYI many of the awesome things I refer to most of my friends would call nerdy) you should check it out. She is a pretty funny person with a knack for making cute/quirky/awesome comics. Can you tell I like her site a little?
     Anywho, she kind of inspired me to make a little comic to post on here. My mother and I were talking about the New York City trip we're taking in UNDER A MONTH today which spurred this idea. See, my uncle is afraid that when we go we're going to get mugged. My mom was saying that if we did, I would probably be the one to protect us. Oh yes mom, the fourteen year old blonde girl will be the one to protect us all from a mugger. But here you go, enjoy my little interpretation of what would happen. Enjoy! And you can trap mosquit's to unleash on your enemies if you wish to punish them.

On the Road Again

    

     I’m presently (not presently anymore, this was yesterday) “driving” home from Illinois so why not take the chance to make a blog post? There’s a really pretty sunset going on to the right with this big cloud above it that looks like some big baby chicken thingy. 

     Do you see it in the picture? By the time I took the picture it didn’t look so chickenish anymore but whatever. Use your imaginations. ;)

    Yesterday when my best friend and I (the best friend that was coming over when I was writing Friday’s post) were hanging out she asked an interesting question. I think we were talking about the Illinois trip and she asked me if I ever watched people driving by in other cars and gave them names/destinations. My answer, just so you know, was no. So I’m going to try that now! I’ll describe the person I see briefly then give them a name/destination.

     Ooookay…there are no cars around presently. –sigh- I thought this was the interstate! Here comes one! Crap, I couldn’t see them well. Whatever, I saw his profile! It was a guy maybe in his thirties talking on his cell phone. His name is Jonathan Merideth (it’s a family name) Lou. He is heading for the nearest rest stop so he can make a pit stop if you know what I mean. He also needs to consult his map… DANG! Just passed a legit rest stop and he didn’t pull over. He’s so lost he isn’t ever aware of his surroundings. But he has no idea where he is or really what his destination is.

     I may have to try this again when there are more cars around. We’re getting passed by a couple now but they’re too low down for me to see them well. Check back later, I may have something more entertaining for you to read. Adios! Plastic cups are actually not very good to use for eavesdropping on people in other rooms. Remember that.

I'm Feeling Inspired!

     Hello there blog readers, muggles, and confused Googlers alike! Lucky for you I'm in a blogging mood today. Well, more of just a writing mood rather than a blogging mood specifically. What can I say? I'm felling inspired today! But I do have my bestest (yes, bestest) friend coming over in the 15 to 50 minute range so this may be a long or short post today. My friend decides. :)

     My secret agent escapades have been put on hold lately due to my injured leg. Depressing, right? According to the physical therapist I shouldn't do any "running, jumping, or twisting". So basically, that means no missions as I use all three of those frequently (you'd be surprised at the amount of twisting I do). However, my iTunes library has increased and the number of unwatched shows on our DVR has decreased so a few good things have come out of this mess I refer to as a leg.

    Speaking of injuries I have sustained lately my poor pinky toe has an unfortunate looking blister on it. From the way my laptop is positioned on my lap and my feet propped up I can see the red circle my stupid boot caused yesterday. Well, I wouldn't call the boots stupid per say. They're just improperly padded on the inside. At any rate, I took my sock off today once I got home to find my poor had seeped through not only the Band Aid but also my sock. Yeah, it seeped through two layers of material! Darn toe liquid always causing trouble.

     Mom's presently making tacoes and asking me about summer camps (ex: Introduction to Theatre, Introduction to Oceanography, Something about studying how seashells are made, Sculpey Sculpting, etc. etc.) so I need to go. Below is a picture of my totally not stupid boots. If you're wondering why I wore them yesterday, it's because we went to a nearby park for school and did naturey stuff. That is beside the point! I hope you enjoy your weekend. Play all your CD's back to make sure there are no hidden messages on them.  

Fuzzy Hats on the Ground!

     I was trolling the interweb today and came upon this site that had pictures of fainting soldiers. Never once had it crossed my mind that someone might pass out while, I don't know, watching over the Queen's gala or something. Some of them are surprisingly entertaining, particularly the ones where some of the other soldiers around are just staring straight ahead or looking slightly annoyed. I understand that they're at attention and everything but aren't you supposed to help out another fallen comrade? Take a look if you like. And to make it clear: I do not take joy in seeing people pass out or anything of the like! Just thought this was interesting and a little humorous in some cases. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/8416471/Passing-out-soldiers-fainting-during-official-ceremonies.html

    That's all I have for you today. Come back later this week for more Nicole provided entertainment! Keep a small notebook in your pocket. Periodically pull it out and scribble down notes to confuse your enemies...and friends.

New Video!

     I've been neglecting my posting lately, haven't I? Well, nothing has changed for me over the past three or four days. Leg still hurts, still in school, it's still raining here. -_- I did post a new video on youtube if you want to check it out. I'll warn you though I couldn't do any real talking in it for fear or waking up others in the house (My grandparent's house has really thin walls. If you pass gas in one room everyone in the house knows). So check it out and laugh at my boring non-talkign video. P.S. inerpretation of what I'm saying is in the description box below. Bye for now! And Tupperware containers can always be used as excellent weapons if caught in a random ninja attack. http://www.youtube.com/user/Pineappleexplosionto?feature=mhum

Taking Your Breath, One Cloud at a Time

     Okay, I was trolling about the backgrounds and themes offered by Windows 7 today and found this background image. I swear, when I brought it up on my background to see it in full size I gasped! It's one of the few images that has ever really taken my breath away. It may not be all that impressive to but I thought it was. Take a look at some amazing looking clouds and get back to me on the amazingness. Why don't you check out my poll to the left if you want something else to do after seeing the picture. And if you're bored after that you should check out my twitter account or other blog located in the left hand column. ;) Advertising for myself? Nah! But it'd make me immensely happy if you'd follow me on Twitter even though I don't get on there as much as most Twittererers do. Whatever, I still have. Okay, now I'm just babbling. I'm going to go, you're going to look at this picture and maybe loose your breath, go! By the way a magnifying glass can work as a good weapon if you're ever along on the bad side of town doing some sleuthing.

Tornado Cheescake

    Cheesecake is magic. It's not precisely cheese, but it certainly isn't cake! And it can come in different flavors yet it keeps the same consistency (Can you tell I'm eating cheesecake right now?). I hope your Easter weekends were all enjoyable. If you or someone you know was effected by the tornadoes in the Mid-west over the weekend my heart goes out to you. Not literally considering that would be kind of disgusting and I think that it would be a little disturbing to open your mailbox to find a human heart sitting in there.

     Anyway, we at my house were missed by the storm by only about two miles. We drove down the road a little and saw a few roofs torn off of barns and homes. We need some sunny days here! At least it needs to quit raining for at least a day. I think everything is adequately watered by now. -_-

     I don't know if you found today's post exceedingly interesting. If anything, you found out that there were big storms and tornadoes in the Mid-West over the weekend! Because I have to go attempt to finish my science packet again I'll leave you at this. Did I mention before I hate finding epicenters on earthquakes? Particularly on science packets we're assigned? Huh, well now you know. -sigh- If you use it right paper can be lethal.

Ararat Anomaly

     Sort of keeping to the theme I set up in yesterday's post about secret places and things I have another story for you! I have never heard of this before but that doesn't mean much. Apparently there's this thing called the Ararat Anomaly which is believed to be the remains of Noah's Ark. Chances are good you've hear the story of Noah's Ark: Giant flood was coming, Noah built a giant ark, two of every animal got on board, etc. etc. But the U.S. Air force got a picture of something looking very ark-like in the Ararat mountains. Ironically enough according to Wikipedia that's where it was said Noah's Ark came to rest. I'm not sure how reliable Wikipedia is so if you're very devoted you could look it up in Genesis 8:4.

     Anyway, moving away from the Bible now. The picture below is of the anomaly itself. 



     Quite frankly, it looks like it could be a giant chunk of ice to me. But there is an ark-like quality to it. Why they don't just send out probes or people to excavate the area. They say every few years the ice melts enough so you can kind of see what looks like an ark. Go on one of those years! This may just be one of those things we'll never really know about. If you've heard more on this or look something else up feel free to send me more info on it! Bye for now. Keep your computer speakers off when you're not using them. They could easily be accessed by your enemies and converted into microphones for spying on you.

Lots of Links

     I'm happy to report that today has been more normal than yesterday was. I also wanted to let you know you can follow me on Twitter if you want to. I don't really get on much but I do post random blips every so often. I'm going to start posting on there when I put up a new blog post, too. Follow if you want, make my day and increase my followers count from one to, oh, two. Go ahead, click it!!!  http://twitter.com/#!/Pineappleexplos

     On an unrelated note, did you know there's a club in Disney? Yes, there is!! Apparently it's called Club 33 and located in Disneyland, California. From what I've read it's very exclusive. There may or may not be a fourteen year waiting list to it. If you want to read more on it I originally found out about the club here: http://listverse.com/2010/01/06/top-10-places-you-cant-go/  I'm certainly giving you a lot of links today, aren't I? Enjoy! And crossing your eyes is both harmful to your eyes and your state of mind.

Thursday Feels Weird

     Today was sort of an odd one in the world of Nicole. First, our instructor in band was telling us about how she tells the high schoolers she teaches that they need to play something so beautifully the crowd will stand on their feet and "throw babies" (DISCLAIMER: No babies were harmed in the making of music. The aforementioned phrase was only a figure of speech used by my band instructor. Please, do not throw babies at me because I will look at you strangely and walk away)

     The next weird thing was that I did not participate in today's track meet. I may or may not have mentioned before but I recently "strained my groin". So I had to watch everyone run and stuff while I got to sit and take pictures. Very exciting. And then there was a weird thing within this weird thing! While taking pictures I got to talk to two guys on my team (Whose names will not be mentioned since they won't be happy I'm even mentioning this) who explained to me what a pig's scream sounds like, what they would do if they were in the Hunger Games, and that they should've allowed guns in the Hunger Games. By the way, if you haven't read the Hunger Games series I really recommend it.

     Finally, after limping around Deirbergs with my mom we heard from a cashier and the bagger that working lane 15 is just the worst. Note to self: if you ever work at Dierbergs do not under any circumstances work lane 15!

     This blog post today even feels weird. I think I need to stop and just go eat some dinner since my stomach is growling presently. Let's try this again tomorrow. Okay? If you want to hide any secret notes I suggest stuffing it inside of a bottle of Ranch dressing. No one will suspect it there.

Groin Pains

     Guess what I'm doing right now. Yeah, go ahead, guess. I bet you won't. Answer: I'm icing my "groin". See, I've had this pain wrapping around the top of my leg since last Thursday (our first track meet). So today after running ten freakin 300 meters with a 100 meter walk in between I told one of our coaches about how freakin much it hurt after I got done running. You know what he told me? "It sounds like you tweaked your groin." -sigh- When it comes to getting weird injuries I think I'm a pro. Just call me gimpy.

     Though I don't think you're too interested in my odd leg injuries so I'll give this to you instead. Click this link for hours of enjoyment. I just found it and, if I had more time, would've played on it for a long time. Enjoy! Don't lick paper. Ever. P.S. Turn on your sound when you go to the link.

Tim Burton Music

     I'd say that today was probably a big day for Pineapple Explosion! When I got into fourth hour today my friend told me that her entire third hour class had looked up and read my blog. It's good to know my presence is alive in there even when I'm not in that class. So if you're from Social Studies third hour reading this, yay! Thank you!

     Anyway, we're playing this new piece in band now (yup, I'm a band geek) and I wanted to share it with you. Why? Because I thought it sounded like something that belonged in the score of a Tim Burton movie. It's called the Cluster, Fluster, Bluster March by David Holsinger. Once the woodwinds pop in it really does sound like something that he would use.

    You may have to turn up the volume a little to hear them but this band sounded good. This is most certainly not the band I am a part of, these are high schoolers!! Please don't sue me, anyone. : )

     I need to go look up different types of sleep since I'm a nerd so I'll leave you with that. One more day to vote on the poll! I'm also going to put up a few links to other blogs I find amusing. One in particular I find interesting but you'll have to check it our yourself! Good bye. Oh, and that thing you're looking for. You know, that one thing, it's under your sock drawer. Trust me.

Spring Pros and Cons

     Do you know what a true spring food is? Strawberry angel food cake covered in whipped cream (Sadly not the cream kind but the aerosol can kind) and chopped strawberries. It's just like spring personified into a delicious and calorie filled desert. But the thing is, it doesn't taste calorie filled since the angel food cake is so light and fluffy and the strawberries are healthy! I can't say the same fore the whipped cream, however. But as I was eating my angel food cake this evening I was contemplating the origins of the name of the cake. I came to the conclusion that it is called such because the angel choir in heaven (or whatever paradise you believe in if you believe in one at all) sing as your piece of cake makes the perilous journey to your mouth. Ha, that would make an epic advertisement!

     I'm sorry I've been so sporadic in my posting lately. I don't remember if I mentioned this in my kind of post the other day but I've been insanely busy. Posting hasn't been a priority lately. My days have mostly consisted of the following: reading, state testing, track meets/practices, eating, sleeping, and being tired. Don't forget about allergies, too! With great spring foods come awful spring allergies. See what I did there? That was a twist on the whole "With great power comes great responsibility"...I'll stop explaining my metaphors? My metaphors I guess, now.

     I hope where ever you're reading this from has nice weather and is also TURNING GREEN! Adios winter! I bid thee farewell just as I bid you farewell. Try not to get anything disgusting on your hands before touching your computer keyboard/mouse. Other people have to use those too, you know. Even if you don't know it.

This is Irrelevent

     This is a post because I haven't posted in a while. So enjoy this non-posty post. Vote on my poll to amuse yourself! : )

The REAL Slim Shady

     Happy April! Also a happy birthday to my mom while I'm at it. Hopefully it stays this nice outside all through the month, though I sincerely doubt it will. Tomorrow is supposed to get up to 80! I'm not kidding, it really is. Now if school would just end we'd be in good shape.

     Have you ever had a song stuck in your head that just kept playing over and over again at one certain point? Well, that is how it's like in my head almost 24/7. This morning, because I didn't take my iPod with me, I ran a 5K (For a charity!) without music. It was crazy tiring and the whole time I had a really good song playing in my brain. Usually I get something that I hate like a Weird Al Yankovic song I've heard too much going at the most annoying part in my head. But this was actually nice to run to while thinking some maybe not so nice things about running and hills. Here's the song so you can get it in your head the next time you run a 5K:

     Speaking of music, I read this not long ago on my friend's blog Magenta Lightbulb. Did you know that Eminem and Slim Shady are the same person??! That means that there actually isn't any really Slim Shady that should stand up. (If you haven't heard that song then you'd be terribly confused. "I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Shady. All those other Slim Shadys are just imitating. So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up...") That sort of blew my mind when I figured it out. If you want to read her blog go here: http://magentalitebulb.blogspot.com/2011/03/real-slim-shady.html

     Since my mom just came in with mole vanquishing news I should go. If you didn't know, she's an avid mole hunter in our massive yard. We have a mole issue. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday or whatever other day you're reading this on. Carry a mirror with you to both check your reflection, make up, or nose for stray grossness and to watch out for your enemies from behind.



Stop, Hammer Time!

     Finally! A day with no homework. Now I can write a blog post. I feel my free time has been dimishing as of late with projects...and reading. But I don't have any books on hand (which is rather strange) as of right now as I have free time again! Yay! That is irrelevent now. Unless it comes to my other blog where it's totally relevent.

     My mom is watching M.C. Hammer on Oprah right now behind me. I'm more than a little dissapointed that he isn't wearing parachute pants! Business like does no become him whatso ever. If he ever wants to be taken seriously he needs to go around with the Hammer Time song playing and do his little dance thingy. Helping out with Apple and the iPad just isn't like him!

     That's about all I can think of right now. I need to go eat a peanut butter with no jelly sandwhich from my rigorous work out earlier. Enjoy your lives and I hope I brightened them just a tiny bit! Don't put hot glasses into the freezer unless you like drinking from broken glasses.

Waffle Fries

     Sad pictures, right? This was what my mom and I were met by on the way home yesterday. March needs a reality check. Just last Monday I was outside eating ice cream with my jeans rolled up. Already most of the snow is melted away. Nature, I shall never understand thee.

     If you didn't know, I like to try combining completely diferent foods to see what they taste like together. It can't tell you how many times I've grossed my friends out at lunch! Anyway, I have something for you to try if you ever, I don't know, get bored and hungry on a rainy day. First take french fries. I haven't tried this with any fries but our school ones so results may vary. Then take caramel and dip the french fries in the caramel. It's imperative you dip and don't pour the caramel over the fries. That'd be both stupid and messy. Then you eat. If you've done this correctly (the fries should be cooked. I repeat: COOKED!)  the flavored of the combined foods should remind you of waffles. They are what I call waffle fries. I'll try to remember some of my other experiments and post them later.

     I hope you enjoyed hearing me ramble on again today! If your socks are wearing out and you don't want to get rid of them yet try remaking them into sock puppets.

   

100th Post!

 

     Do do do dooo do do dooooo! If you couldn’t tell, that was a trumpet fanfare. Why? Because this is my hundredth blog post! Is one hundred posts important? I think the fact that I stuck with this whole blogging thing this long is a miracle in itself. Though it has only been five months…still. One hundred posts in five months is quite impressive too.

     So! I have nothing really special planned for this semi-extrodinary installment of Pineapple Explosion. I do have news, though! Do you remember a few posts ago when I asked about a book review site? Thanks to the three or four of my friends that pitied me and told me I should do it, I did it! http://bookswithasideofenthusiasm.blogspot.com/ Check it out and tell me what you think! The title is a little long, I know. But I thought the background and such looks snazzy. :) That’s just me. It’ll take some time to work out all the kinks.

     Wow, this has been a really uninteresting post. I apologize! Must be off my game today. I blame the stupid mid-west weather throwing me all out of wack. Seventy and sunny one day, thirty two and dreary the next. I have nothing against dreary days but when they’re both dreary and cold I must draw the line. O Spring, Spring, wherefore art thou Spring?

     I’ll stop quoting Shakespear now and let you go on with your day. Or if you reading this minutes after I posted it, night. Goodness, why are you up so late! Anyways, thanks for taking time out of your day to read! I suggest wearing your glasses upside down to gain another perspective on troublesome issues.

Cartwheel Failing

    Today was an amazing day! There's really nothing like figuring out how to make your way down a creek full of water, avoiding obstacles while trying not to get your shoes entirely soaked. If you were wondering, I didn't succeed. My shoes are adequately wet. But no matter! I'll wash them off. On the down side, I have a strong feeling that my face is sun burned. This is what happens to us fair skinned people. Go out in the sun without re-applying your SPF 90 sunscreen (doesn't that just sound nerdy? I have SPF 90 sunscreen!!) every two hours and you get a red face. Maybe I'll tan a little bit. Ha ha, and maybe I'll win the lottery tomorrow.

    Seeing as I have packing to do and such I'm just going to leave you with my cartwheel fails. My best friend in the entire world was attempting to teach me today but it didn't quite end well. I think I did one almost real cartwheel. Sad, right? Oh well. Don't forget to give me your input on my book review blog! I've only had one person tell me I should do it (not that that one person isn't appreciated) and that doesn't quite inspire me to do it. Floss your teeth daily, it's good for the soul.

Book Reviewing?

    I've been playing around with the thought of a creating a book review blog on the side of this one. I mean, I read at such a quick rate given I have nothing better to do witih my life (another factor contributing to my nerd status).  I would have quite a bit to use in such a blog. But then again, that would just be another book reviewing blog out there. I'm not sure how many people would really take into consideration the view of a teenage girl's opinion on books. I don't know, any ideas? Leave me a comment if you wish to voice your opinion! Or don't and leave me all alone in the dark to go over the pros and cons by myself. -sigh- Comment button is in the bottom right of this post if you didn't know. As you were, thanks for reading my mindless rantings, reverse your socks half-way through the day to spice up your life.

What to Put Here...

     Do you know what would suck? Having your head chopped off. Especially if you were at the guillotine and knew it was coming and everything. Oh, and don't forget! You'd be aware of everything around you thirty seconds after your head came off. Is it weird I remember that from reading it four years ago in some magazine in elementary school? I'd ask for a magazine myself if I knew I would be alive thirty seconds after being decapitated. Wow, this is a very morbid way to start off my post!

     In other less disturbing news my agency I work for (secret agent agency) is now under new direction. Some of you may have heard but Angela got the sack. Personally, I'm glad she's gone! If you ask me I believe she's a wicked double crosser. She was obviously working for another agency trying to bring us down. I'm just glad she wasn't replaced with Jillian. She would've been even worse! But thankfully we got Steve instead. If you're thinking about switching career paths and want something more exciting and possibly hazardous to your health, I can send you a form to fill out and send in. We're always looking for new operatives. The best parts? You get to travel all over the world and they offer benefits! Dental, health, the works. Not that I'm at an age to appreciate that quite yet, it's nice to know they'll be there when I get older. Considering I live that long....

     And I'm straying to morbid again! I think I need to stop before I go into something creepier. Thanks for reading! If you're out of sticky notes to write all your important memos down on, there's this thing called a hand that's always with you and works just as well. Just as well until you wash yours hands I mean.

P.S. I'm actually not insane, my secret agent rantings are my way of filling posts where I don't  have anything better to say. I'm not crazy. ; )

St. Kelly’s Day!

    Happy St. Kelly’s day, readers! I hope your feasts are plentiful and your marathons filled with much vomit consisting of broccoli. Yes, there is a story behind St. Kelly’s day before you all go off to check your calendars.

    If you didn’t know this before, my sister is a saint. It was decided two Thanksgivings ago? I think so. Anyways, we were at my aunt and uncle’s house after eating Thanksgiving dinner. My cousin, my sister (Kelly), and I were all sitting at the table with a vegetable platted in front of us. Kelly announced how very stuffed she was and I asked her if she wanted to go run a marathon. Her reply was something along the lines of “sure, if you want me to get sick”. Probably something wittier than that.

    Anyway, she then reached forward and plucked a piece of plastic off of a broccoli in the vegetable platter. We then went into saying how she just totally saved someone from chocking and dying and she should get a sainthood, holiday, parade, ect. ect. This was how St. Kelly’s day was created.

    It was set for the day after St. Patrick’s day when everyone was still hung over from partying the night before. You eat a feast in the morning (Thanksgiving dinner) then you go and run a marathon until you get sick (my comment about running). Afterwards there are parades where people throw broccoli from floats. There are also massively dramatized re-enactments of Kelly’s daring save. Depending on your area the re-enactment will be portrayed different ways. Oh, and the official color of the day is red since Kelly’s favorite color just so happens to be red.

    So that’s St. Kelly’s day! If you read all of this I’m impressed. This was a really long post today. Maybe because I’m trying to put off editing my story…though both of these things I’m doing by choice. –sigh- Check over your vegetable platters in the future for potentially hazardous materials stuck in them.

A Very ADD Day

    I had the best thing to say on my blog today but I can't remember! I though of it today while running. Maybe the pain of running uphill so much just threw the idea from my mind. I think we need to get rid of hills. They're useless! They just take more energy to get up and they block breezes and views and....I can't think of other reasons but I assure you there are! Mountains can stay, rolling hills need to go. Sorry Kansas!

    If' you've made it this far through my blog post today, congratulations! I promise I've gotten my daily venting out. Thanks for voting on my poll by the way before I forget to mention it! I love how there are, if I remember correctly, more people that answered "rawr" rather than giving a definitive answer. Way to go evasive people! You're the ones that don't give anything away any make the rest of us go "woah, they're secretive and mysterious!" I get the feeling that was an epic run on sentence but I don't quite care. I'll have another random poll up either today or tomorrow for you to vote on. A warning to all those who like things to have relevance and or importance in their lives: voting on my poll will not bring anything relevant or important in any way to your life. Just didn't want ot freak you out or anything.

    Oh my goodness, I just had letholigica up in that first paragraph!! Wow, I feel kind of accomplished now. Anyway, I need to go eat something before my stomach begins eating itself from the inside out (can it do that?!). I wonder if that would cause and ulcer or lack of stomach period...but let's not dwell on that thought for too long. I am, afterall, about to go eat! A fair and fond adieu. Don't blow your nose too often of "you may break that cartilage thing between between your nostrils". (Not my words, take not of the ""'s.)

I Was Going to Put Something Here...

    Looks like another snow day post. I thought we were out of the snow day phase! March isn't supposed to be snowy! It's supposed to be...Marchy. I don't relly know where I was going with that. Anyways, happy Monday to everyone. And if you didn't know, it's also Say Hi to Chelsea Day. But I doubt many of you actually know the Chelsea I'm talking about so just say hi to whatever Chelsea that's in your life. And it doesn't matter if it's hi, hello, hey, hola, aloha, bonjour, ihnay, ect.ect. They all mean the same thing.

    I have a riddle today! Okay, it's not really that much of a riddle but it's fun and I'm going to put it in here anyways. Alright, it's something that everyone has at one point or another but can never remember. The key word there being remember.  I'll give you a hint: It's a word. A word with five syllables. What is it? Lethologica, meaning you can't quite remember something. If you actually knew that I'm quite impressed. If you're wondering how I learned it, it was in my planner our school gives us. You learn something new every day.

    I am still trying to figure out how to get that video onto youtube without having to wait over an hour. But with track, my secret agent work, changes in the agency, homework, continuing my writing, and my social life, I have little time to spare on my YouTube account. It'll get up eventually! Anyway, I would invest in a lock for your sock drawer. Socks are excellent escape artists.

Tsunami in Japan

    If you haven't been living under a rock for the past year then you would've no doubt heard about the tsunami that hit Japan and effected several other places. If you have been living under a rock, it was an insanely massive earthquake in the Pacific Ocean that caused the tsunami yesterday. On the Richter Scale, the scale that measures the "seismic energy" of an earthquake, the earthquake yesterday was an 8.9! That's a really, really, really big shake! Overall, this has led to mass destruction and thousands either dead or missing.

   We were watching footage of the waves sweeping things away in my social studies class yesterday and I was appalled by some of the boys in my class. They were laughing at the boats hitting each other or fires raging. All I have to say to the people like that is someday, that might be you stuck in a burning building or on the boat careening towards another one. Show some compassion!

    Anyway, my heart goes out to all those effected in the disaster! And not just those in Japan, but also in other places where the waves hit. I liked an interview I saw yesterday of an elderly Japanese woman living in the US who was saying how she believed her country could pull through this. Way to have hope!

Man Hugs

    Do you know what I don’t understand? Man hugs. During musical season when I just came off stage from singing one of my duets a seventh grade guy mentioned several posts ago (Nick) tried to teach me how to man hug since I was a gangster and stuff. I couldn’t get it! You watch guys on TV or in real life do it and you’d think its not all that hard. But there are several steps to the  man hug!

    First you have the hand shake thingy which is deceptively simple. You just think “Oh, we’re going to have a nice, polite handshake. Okay!” But then you commence the hug portion and things get dicey. Your one hand is still occupied in the handshake while you’re closing in on the hug. When do you let go of their hand? Where does your hand go? When do you stop hugging? These are the questions that haunt me in the middle of the night.

    But seriously! If you are a girl and you haven’t experienced a man hug I suggest you attempt one and find out how very confusing it is! And embarrassing if you’re like me and can’t quite grasp the concept. –sigh-  Quite confusing. I was certainly not meant to be a guy.

    I have some American Idol results show to watch now so I’ll leave with man hugs to ponder. Attach Duct Tape your remote if you want to keep it on hand at all times. Food for thought.

Fat Tuesday!

      No homework toady means a blog post instead! Yay! Just to keep you up to date in my life today was the second day of Track. Let's just say my legs and brain were having some heated arguments today and we'll leave it at that. Otherwise things are fantastic as usual. I hope all is well in the land of my readers, whether you got on here by accident and are sticking around to check this out or you actually know me and read this just to tell me you did. Either way, happy Tuesday to you! And also a happy Mardi Gras. No festivities going on at my house. I actually just told happy Mardi Gras and her reply was "Oh, that's today?"

      I don't know how many of you have heard of this but I love numerology! It's so crazy that based on your birthday some random person sitting in a dusty basement writing down this stuff knows so much about you based on your birthday! Not personal stuff or anything but just personality wise and such. If you don't know what numerology "is any of many systems, traditions, or beliefs in a mystical or esorctic relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things." (Thank you, Wikipedia!) A.K.A. how numbers predict crazy stuff about you. To get your life number you add your date of birth (25), month of birth (8), and your year (1702).

      If by chance you are a seven as I am (do the math, it adds up. Even if I wasn't actually born in 1702) here's what you are supposedly like personality wise:  

"In numerology the number seven is considered the most spiritual of the numbers, in writings they are called seekers. Other positive traits include being prepared for situations. Sevens are thought of as wise and mystical by others, often possessing hidden knowledge. They are also considered very analytical. The negative aspects include being aloof and cynical. Number sevens are also considered superficial and can be perceived as fussy by others. Although these characteristics are based off of the numerological charts for a seven, they are generalizations." To check out more you can go here http://www.ehow.com/list_5914613_numerology-characteristics-number-7.html. 

 

       But, if you know me personally, decide for yourself if that sounds like me. I'm not sure I'd really sall myself all that aloof or cynical but I can see fussy. I have been known to fuss. I suggest checking out your numerology on the next rainy, boring day you have. It's kind of mind blowing at times. Beware dish washers and their destroying powers. They have a secret vendetta against certain plastics.

   

     

   

    

Longest Post in a While

    Overall I believe I spent about two hours last night making a new stop action video as I said I would. I got on my laptop this morning, hooked it up to the Internet, logged onto YouTube, spent twenty minutes trying to turn it into a compatible file, and finally got it to upload! The sad and insanely disappointing thing is that my laptop ran out of juice before it uploaded since the file was taking over an hour to load. It was only about a thirty to forty second video. There's no need to go at a snails pace to upload.

    So, that was a fancy way of saying I don't have that video up yet. Sorry! I'll shoot for having it up by this weekend but no promises. Given my memory it will probably be forgotten about before I finish typing this.

    At the movies this weekend I saw a trailer for the new movie, Sucker Punch. Somehow in the long trailer they showed with lots of talking and close up shots I deduced close to nothing on what the movies about. First, they show you this girl talking to others in what I could sort of figure out to be an asylum. Then she's in this weird outfit with exploding ships and warriors everywhere. It makes no sense! You can't go from asylum to warrior princess thing just like that! The brain can't comprehend! We're lucky my friends and I made it through that trailer with our lives.

    If you didn't notice, I posted a new poll on the right of this post. Cast your opinion on fruit! I will value your input greatly. Oh, here are two mock album covers of friend of mine created during the fake album craze on Facebook. Enjoy! Licking envelopes can be fatal. Seinfeld taught us so. Beware.

And My Free Time Dwindles

    As my mother has been telling me the last few weeks "I am not going to have much free time on my hands" in the upcoming weeks. Why? Track starts on Monday. According to my grandmother I don't "look like the type to do something like that" (thanks, Grandma!) so I'm sure this will come as a surprise to some of you. What does that mean to a reader like you? That my posts may be becoming more spaced out than the usual spaced out that they usual are. I do have homework to do, you know. And my reputation as a top agent to keep up around the agency. Can't let that falter. But I will try valiantly not to let my blog grow dusty and outdated. Somehow I kept it up during musical season. We'll see what happens.

    On a parting note I'm going down to my room to see if I can get a sudden idea for a video to make. I need to figure out this schmancy video editing system sometime since either James Fernandez or Jaesm Fernandez ( in the email he went by both. Can you say identity crisis?) was very little help. I almost had to type it out in big bold letter I DO NOT NEED YOUR LINK/INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPLOAD! I CAN UPLOAD LIKE A PRO! THE SYSTEM HATES MY CAMERA, THAT IS MY PROBLEM! But I'm not bitter what so ever. No sir. -sigh- Look for a video tomorrow. Adios! Please, for that love of all things good in this world, use spell check!

Pallin Vs. Gringrich

    The other day I got onto MSN to check out my email or something and saw this picture on the news reel. Quite frankly, I couldn't resist making fun of it.

    See, because the two look like they're having a little diva-off or something! Gringrich on the right is all like "You totally just crossed the line there, girl!" and Sarah Pallin is all like, "Oh no, you did NOT just say that to me." I'm sorry if I just offended anyone right there. Those were just the voices floating through my head as I looked at that picture. Wouldn't someone have noticed that when they put that page together? I sure would've! And put little captions with them saying things below their pictures.

    This picture was from yesterday on MSN if you were curious. You can see how exciting my life is presently. (: This font makes smileys look really weird in this font. The mouth and eyes are way to close together to make it look like a real smiley. Poor, poor, deformed smiley face. And it doesn't look any better with a space between the mouth and eyes. : ) Then it's too far apart. Oh well.

    I'm going to go invest my time in something more meaningful. Perhaps that cure for cancer I've been messing around with? We'll see. Don't open your eyes too wide while viewing this page. Your eyes might stick like than and frankly, you look ridiculous.

Happy March to You!

    Happy March everyone! I was sorely dissapointed in myself for forgetting to say "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" when I got up. (If you didn't know, saying "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" the first day of the month is supposed to give you good luck for that month.

    I don't have that long to write this so I'm going to leave you with this hilarious video that's spreading all over the interweb. Maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't. Either way, enjoy! And never trust anything that has a name starting with 'X'.

Images from the Interweb!

    Today I was pondering what all would come up if I Googled Pineapple Explosion and I got this page. Notice how I"m seventh on the list of pineapple explosions. How common a name is that? Anyway, the two circled things in that picture are both pineapple and explosion  related pictures! Upon investigation I discovered they're really cool pineapple and explosion related pictures! If I can manage it I'm going to post the pictures below my handing Google search image. Oh, and I take NO credit for either of them! I'm not a member of DevianArt and my pictures on Flickr aren't that awesome.

    First, this one is the one from Flickr (or the second circled link on my Google illustration). Yes, it was titled Pineapple Explosion. Pretty cool, right? I can see the pineapple-ness. Apparently,  "it's a picture of a wall with lights in a Spanish modern art museum"  Or so the photographer told me. ; ) If you want to check out more photography by this man that took this here's the link to his Flickr account. I DO NOT OWN!   http://www.flickr.com/photos/steven2358/

    This one was the first link found on Google. Obviously, it's the one I found on DevianArt. I've always thought that was an odd name for a website! DevianArt. Okay, that tells me little about your site other than there's art there that may or may not be devian. Anywho, I thought this was pretty cute. So I don't get sued or anything for claiming this as my own, which it ISN'T, here's the link to the creator's account!http://friendly-mushroom00.deviantart.com/           

   

    That completes my tour through the world of pictures titled Pineapple Explosion! Check back again to see more of whatever else pops into my head! Adios and keep electronics dry. They get rather angry and spark if you soak them in water.              

   

Books

.

Given the amount of time I've had on my hands lately, you'd think I'd be posting more on here! But no. I have read two books in the last week so that should count as something. Hey, because I don't know what else to write as of this very moment I'll tell you about this books!!



 To the right you shall see the first book I finished, City of Glass by Cassangra Clare. It's the third and final in the Mortal Instruments series and I really enjoyed it. It seems like a teenage girl sort of romance/paranormal action book. If you're into any of the following I would defintley read it: demons, angels, people getting hurt all the time but being okay since they can heal themselves with drawings, and headstrong teenage girls that get themselves into trouble as they're too in love with demon fighting boys.

 

    Next up we have Angel: A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson. I wouldn't suggest picking this one up and reading it either...it's the eighth in the series if I remember correctly. You'd be hopelessly confused. But I would give this series a go if you like: groups of teenagers with wings, mind numbingly fast paced books, three page long chapters, witty and snarky comebacks from the mind of a teenage girl, and constant near death situations.








    Those were the books I read! There's another I'm reading presently called Toads and Diamonds but I haven't fnished it quite yet. On a last quick note, American history is immensley boring! We had two wars, yeah. That's cool I guess. But when you have to hear about them setting up our government and the huge debt they were in after the Revolutionary Wars isn't all that exciting. I just thought I'd share that with you all. Watch the roads while you're driving. Animals always think the best place to try to hitch hike is from the middle of the roads. Silly creatures! 

                                                    

Cookie Monster

    Personalized background? Can I get a yes? I'll have you know that it's insanely hard to write neatly when you're using a crappy mouse. Let's just say that took much longer to make than it really should've. Oh well. I was bored with the whole dry dessert and lightning thing. Was that the right dessert I just used? I never can tell the difference between desert and dessert. You can't even say same difference to those two considering one is tasty and the other is....deadly.

    So if you're a facebooker yourself you know that they changed the profile page layout. Stupid, right? I kind of miss that pointless little box where you put some random thing about you. I do like the banner feature though. If you haven't heard of these banners of you're not on Facebook, you can get a banner that fills up the four boxes at the top of your profile page where pictures of you go. I thought this was a freakin' awesome idea so here is the banner that I got on my profile page for your viewing pleasure.

    Snazzy, right? Wow, I'm using a lot of rhetorical questions today. Anywho, I had to do some slight alterations to the picture as not to compromise both my identity as a teenage girl or secret agent. But you got the general gist of my page. No one can resist the Cookie Monster.

    Grr, school tomorrow. That means I need to stop procrastinating, play my flute some more, write some more in my story, then sleep. Sadly, blogging is not listed in that list. Adieu, adieu. Never try to lick a wall painted with textured paint. It doesn't end well.

Uninspired

    Remember a few posts ago when I gave you the trailer for the movie I Am Number Four? Well, I went to see it with my bestest friend Kaley today. My opinion? Loud but excellent. The girl from the Sorcerer's Apprentice played "Numbah Six" (she's Australian so when she say's Number it comes out as Numbah) and was pretty freakin' awesome. For one, she had an epic motorcycle and a nice wardrobe. If I had to become a movie character for some strange reason, say my current identity was compromised in some totally unlikely circumstance, I wouldn't mind becoming her. My one issue with the movie was that they didn't seem to have names. Sure, the cute main character guy that played Number Four had a name but it was made very clear it was a fake name. And then Numbah Six told one of the other characters her name was Jane Doe in jest (ha ha, jest) but they had to have names from their home planet. I'd have to have a set name other than "Numbah Six" if I was going to become the character, though.

    As the title today said, I'm not feeling very inspired. Countless times today I've brought up this document but gotten distracted by other more flashy ideas. Which means I resort to my fallback idea and give you cute puppies! Enjoy. My daily words of advice? Check your food before eating. Lord knows what could be waiting in it.

Nick's Post

    At the request of one crazy kid I was hanging out with while offstage during the musical, this post is dedicated to him. Oh, and his Justin Bieber hair. Though I heard that Justin Bieber said some pretty nasty stuff about Americans in his interview with Rolling Stone. "You guys are evil," he jokes. "Canada's the best country in the world." Yeah, that's the way to gain fans in America...

    If you haven't noticed I haven't exactly been prompt with my blogging. That is because this week was our performance of Guys and Dolls Jr. Surprisingly, it didn't go all that bad! It went rather smoothly and the audience didn't actually hear us tromping around backstage like a troop of massive bulls that have a passion for singing, dancing, and general acting. Overall, not a bad production for a group of middle schoolers.

    I'll be more interesting tomorrow. I've just been procrastinating and haven't gotten this out. That is why I'll give you a picture of the cake I'm eating while writing this for you. Enjoy! But don't try to eat it...it's not really there.

On a Valentines Day!!

 

    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! As I promised here is that picture I drew. It’s sort of all the things that come to mind whenever I think of the day.

 

    I hope you can see it. My hands are a little shaky the flash sort of bleached out the photo. The word next to the music notes is “cursive”. Also, the thing below day next to the candle is a pair of chairs at a table.

    There you have it! There’s nothing more for me to say now. Adios! Fluff your pillows to keep neck cramps away.

Tempremental Toilet

    Write now, as I type this, the toilet in my basement is plotting my downfall. Yes, it's down there planning its next move. Will it flush the next time I do my...business? Or will it make me guess as to whether it will work with the water on or off. That toilet must be stopped! However, I took an oath never to harm defenseless appliances....even if they are evil and kenieving.

    Now that that is out of the way I can move onto other topics. I'm about to leave for my first riding lesson in a while where I don't think I'll be frozen to my core when it's over! Apparently, we're getting a February thaw this year. Hopefully I'll be able to walk up the gravel walk to the barn today. Last time my dad had to literally drag me along to keep me from ending up on my rear. Boots don't give you much traction on ice...now I know what it's like for my dog on tile floors.

    Hmm, I had better go get ready for afore said lesson. Let's hope I can feel me fingers the whole time! Happy pre-Valentine's Day. I'll be posting tomrrow with a special picture I created for the occasion. Don't lick frozen posts!

The Meaning of Tall

    Spring needs to come soon! Does anyone have Mother Nature's contact information? The temperature outside is incredibly ridiculous. I'd like not to have to fear for my life as my mother drives down our icy driveway... Nothing against my mom's driving! She's perfectly capable of not crashing and stuff. It's just when the wheels start sliding its not all that amazing.

    Okay, anyways! Today was, according to my Facebook profile, Hug a Tall Person Day. Exciting, right? But what qualifies you as being tall? According to many people I myself am tall. Seeing as the average height of girls my age is around 5'5 I suppose I would be considered tall at 5'7ish. What height do you consider to be where someone should be called tall? This shall be my goal of the month! Please post what you think in the handy dandy comments area below and I'll let you know later what I find. Hopefully we'll learn the true meaning of tall! (thought I severely doubt it)

    On a completely unrelated subject I am insanely excited for an upcoming movie, I am Number Four. If you haven't seen the trailer yet I'll post one below. But it looks amazing! At lunch the other day I was talking with a friend whom is also excited about it for no real reason. There's a scene where we were trying to figure out whether "Number 6" was good or not as she's tackling "Number 4" on what I'm assuming is a football field while "Number 4" shoots lightning or something out of his hand while screaming. Epic, right?

    Well, check the clip out and post your thoughts on tall-ism. Oh, and stare off dramatically into the distance every so often. It confuses your enemies.

 

 

   

Super Bowl Tuesday

    How many people watched the Super Bowl Sunday? Or rather, how many of you reading watched the comercials yesterday? Personally, I loved the Volkswagon one with the little Darth Vader trying to use the force on things. Maybe because I do the same on a daily basis minus the complete costume? Who knows. But I guess I should say something about the teams playing and such. Packers and Steelers, woo. I had 500 imaginary dollars on the Steelers but oh well.

    To tell the truth I actually didn't watch the Super Bowl. I heard muffled shouts of the announcers through my iPod headphones in the car on the way home. See, we had a dilema over the weekend in my household. On Friday we were supposed to catch a flight to Cairo on a little mini weekend vacation. Little did they know in the night when everyone was asleep I was going to sneek out and complete my latest mission I recieved from my agency. But, as you will know if you've even glanced at the news lately you'll know that Egypt was still is in up roar right now with riots going on an such.

    Anyway, I didn't press the matter of our not flying to Cairo over the weekend as I didn't want to endanger my family just for one mission. I ended up sending my assignment on to another agent stationed in Egypt so they could take care of it. However, that left our weekend free. So instead of leaving the country on a whim and endangering out lives we drove to Illinois to visit some family. Exciting, right? Seeing as my father didn't want to drive in traffic on the way home we left right as the Super Bowl started, therefore hindering my commercial watching abilities. 

    That is also why this is my first post in several days. I'll be better tomorrow. I promise! Anywho keep a weather eye on the horizon. 

Questionmania

    Today I was pondering this while in the car coming home from Walmart; I really enjoy filling out questionnaires. I don't know why I have this strange love for them. Well...I guess it wouldn't be a love. Its more of a fondness or enjoyment I suppose. Anyways! I have composed my own questionnaire to let you who don't actually know me find out random things! And if you want, fill it out yourself and post your answers in the comment box. (They're not going to be super personal questions so I can come hunt you down or anything!) So here we go!

Name: Nicole

Like: Writing, acting, funny movies, good books, laughing, ect.

Dislikes: Typos, sunny days when there's snow on the ground, the sound of nails across taut fabric, ect.

If you got a Mercedes for a day with whom you would like to go out for a drive: That would be impossible! People don't give fourteen year olds Mercedes and say "go find someone to drive with!"

What is the strangest dream you had till date: Possibly the one when I was in first grade where a man was going to kill himself with a baseball bat but a crazy lady came up behind him to kill him with a dead fish. He turned around, grabbed the fish, and smacked her head off! Terrifying.

If you were marooned on an island with someone, who do you think that person would be: Probably Kaley (my best friend in the world). She would probably be the one navigating while I was driving the boat...do you drive a boat? Anyways, she has horrible sense of direction (don't deny it, Kaley) so we would probably crash into the island.

What color top are you wearing: A red one!

If you were to produce movie about yourself, which actor or actress would you cast as you: AnnaSophia Robb. See below.



Fruit cake or black forest: What??

    There you have it! Insights into the life of me! Feel free to answer all or none of these as it strikes your fancy. Don't lick lined paper, the ink will stain your tongue.
